Not seeing slowdown in tech spends, rather lot of momentum around AI, Copilot: Microsoft India Prez

New Delhi: Microsoft does not see any slowdown in technology spends in India, the company’s India and South Asia President, Puneet Chandok said, asserting that “a lot of momentum” is building up on AI with buzz around ‘Copilot’ and rise in number of use cases across industries in this market that the software maker counts as among its fastest-growing regions. In an interview to PTI, Chandok said the general perception around AI has shifted from skepticism to optimism, and now to real impact on the ground, with emergence of “real, interesting use cases”. Microsoft’s AI assistant ‘Copilot’ has become a “verb” for artificial intelligence, he observed.
